Synopses & Reviews
The modern Superbike era began in the 1970s, and was long dominated by Italian marques, particularly Ducati's 750 and 900 Super Sport. Since then, Ducati has produced a long series of sporting bikes, several of them among the most desirable motorcycles ever built. In this new all-color history, with the endorsement of Ducati General Manager Ing. Massimo Bordi, Ian Falloon chronicles the evolution of these exciting motorcycles, from the birth of the 750 GT in 1970, through the Super Sports and Mike Hailwood Replicas, and right up to the marque's latest air-oil cooled, fuel-injected models. Includes full production figures and engine and frame numbers. Native Australian Ian Falloon is a freelance motorcycle journalist and photographer. He has been involved with Ducatis for more than 25 years and has written books like MBI's Ducati Twins Restoration Guide. He currently resides in New Zealand.
